Having talked to many Owner Builders this timescale wouldn’t be unusual – Brian

Cost

Kit home $77k

Lower storey & sewage, $68k

Current expected cost at occupancy without land $210k (land $120k)

Expected valuation $425k

Challenges

Finding good tradies willing to come away from population centres, waiting months for their quotes, then waiting months for them to come to do the work. Many local tradies were either crap, quoted three times what they should, or both.

Looking at the big picture. Too terrifying most of the time. You just have to focus on one job at a time, one week at a time.

Positives

Maintaining personal motivation & energy – although the closer to the end – the more tired.

Satisfaction of looking back at what has been accomplished as each job/stage was finished
